Simone's second album, Placelessness, was produced by Steve Revitte (The Double, Black Dice, Liars). Her aching, longing voice recalls Pat Benetar channeling Chan Marshall (Cat Power),but she possesses a singular delivery and potency that complements songs whose sparse arrangements and arpeggiated melodies would make PJ Harvey or Low proud. " Alina Simone is a young singer with shades of Cat Power and other cathartic howlers; still,Simone's songwriting stands on its own delicate yet substantive merits." - Time Out New York " Alina Simone, a Ukrainian-born singer with a potent and ethereal voice, writes wistful songs laced with spare guitar playing that have a Cat Power-like quality." - The New Yorker
